Crunchy air-fried green tomatoes are the perfect appetizer or side dish when you’re cooking up a Southern feast. The crispy panko breadcrumb coating is infused with savory spices and turned golden brown without any oil so you get all the flavor without the grease. Dip each medallion in a creamy dill sauce, and enjoy! This recipe pairs perfectly with our Classic Vegan Cornbread, Southern Green Beans, and Jackfruit Jambalaya. 

Tip: If you can’t find green tomatoes, use firm red ones instead.
